CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – A Georgia man has been charged after leading police on a high-speed chase Nov. 21 on I-24 with four young children in the car.
According to a report from Tennessee Highway Patrol, the man was involved in a high-speed chase with Kentucky State Police. He then fled from the car and jumped into his sister’s vehicle while taking control of the steering wheel.
Police said the suspect, 23-year-old Oscar McNeal, was driving erratically with four young children in the backseat of the vehicle. They were not secured by proper restraints, according to the report.
McNeal fled the vehicle on foot following the chase and was found about a mile and a half from the interstate. A report said plastic baggies full of cocaine and heroin were later found in the vehicle.
McNeal’s arrest warrant says that while he was being booked into the Montgomery County Jail he repeatedly exposed his genitals and threatened to sexually assault a nurse at the jail.
He was charged with indecent exposure, assault, evading arrest, drugs, and reckless endangerment. His bond was set at $395,000.
